NUMBER 53.
Old Pigskins Make Their Bow In Every Street and Alley
VARSITY MEN WILL COACH
Coach Mosse Appoints "K" Men to Teach Unknown How to Fall on The Ball.
Every year, immediately after the Missouri game, the students yearn to do something, the less husky athletes long to get out on some open field and show their more fortunate brethren just what they would have done had they been in that tight position in the Tiger game, or the battle with the Cormhusers. Old signs of student activity, are never seen on the streets until after the Varsity has completed its schedule, and either rejoiced or dismayed the students.
And so yesterday was but a foreruner of the days to come. In the middle of Adams street Bert Wadhams, Burny Dunham, and several other of Lee's cohorts gathered in two groups, and displayed their prowess in booting an old ragged pigskin. Out in the center of Ohio street between the 1300 and 1400 blocks the Agney Club, an eating buns of hefty athletes, were passing the hallway of Kentucky and Vermont street, Oread avenue, East Lee, Alabama, each saw its song of frolicking athletes forward passing the oval or running signals.
"Class football, let's have class football," was the cry of the multitude, and Leonard St. Leger Mosse and Leonard Frank, heartening to the voice of the wind, appointed K men to coach the various teams prepared plan for inter-class games, to be contested in a couple of weeks.
Introducing Coach B. Tudor
Buster Tudor, the big lineman on the 1913 eleven will train the seniors,
and tutor them in the best methods for discovering and attacking the weaknesses of Leon McCarty and Jay Bond, the probable referees.
Dutch Detwiler, charley-horse and all, will assist Buster in his fell design.
Trio to Train Sophs.
Willard Burton, the big tackle from Mound City, will direct the progress of the juniors, those junior who last year swore to scalp the seniors if they ever again met on the field. Billy Greenlee will assist him, James probably taking the line and Greeneelees working the backfield. Nuts Hurst and Left Sproull have already signified thirst intention of coming out and playing the two cues for this class in their figures on hurdling the line, *and Sproull on forward passing.*
Bony Reber, John Hammond, and Herb Sommers will direct the destinies of the sophomores, those wise and hefty sophs who last year tied the seniors for the class championship, even though they were only freshmen at the time. They had lots of presumption. Jay Plank, the body and soul of the upper-class team, will testify to that.
Shorty Strothers, Thomas Mulloy, and Web Martin will run the freshies. Mosse and Frank have not yet decided whether they will permit the freshman eleven that has been working with the Varsity all year to represent its class in the B league, which is incremented last year, and it is doubtful if the Jayhawker mentors will break the former stringent rule in order to let this bunch of huskies take their revenge for many long-suffered paddlings out on the upperclassmen. New men only will be played probably. That certainly offers a chance for the Budding Strothers to buck the regulars all fall to come out now and show up their less talented elders.
First Come, First Served
The class team candidates can check out suits and shoes at Manager Hamilton's office in the Gym, as long as said suits and shoes are new. The first year-marriage turn back in their equipment, first come will certainly have to be first served.
No practice will be held until the Monday after the Thanksgiving holiday when the candidates are interview report to their conches on McCook field.
Postpone Council Meeting The Men's Student Council will not hold its regular meeting tonight.
BARBER CASHES IN AND DEPARTS HENCE
Hundreds of Students Grieve When Jack Fullerton Sells Establishment
PANTATORIUM IS NOW QUIET
And The Trouwers of Student Ticket Holders Bag at the Patellas; It's an Annual Affair.
And in the meantime, several hundred students are buying new pantatorium tickets or pressing their trousers "a la mattress." Some of them roar, some swear, maybe, some protest, and some keep the fact that they have been beaten as quiet as they can.
For the sudden demise of the K. U. Pantatorium, which occurred recently when one Jack Fullerton sold out, leaves many students in the position of the much-touted snipie hunter. In other words, they are a more or less periodic occurrence at the University.
A scenario writer would probably
bake a "coup" somewhat
after this fashion.
Scene 1. Jack Fullerton, a barber,
has an inspiration. He rents a room
and has a pantatorium sign painted.
Scene 2. Fullerton obtains the
services of five of six live solicitors.
They go out and sell tickets to the
students at $2.25 a throw. The students
are keen to recognize a bargain,
and the cash comes rolling in.
Scene 3. Fullerton sells out, and
depends.
Scene 4. The pantatorium falls to reopen.
Scene 5. Trouvers of student-tick et holders begin to bag at the knees
FIRST SOPH BUM IS GET-ACQUAINTED PARTY
Sophomores And Sophomorettes Attend and Consume Cider and Doughnuts
Two hundred sophomores gathered in the gym last night for rthe first Sophomore Bum. Everybody got acquainted with everybody else, and learned who "he" was or "she" was, making for the Thanksgiving dinner by consuming a vast quantity of doughnuts and oceans of cider.
The program consisted of tries by C. L. Dietrich, C. H. Gleason, and F. E. Royce, a farce by C. S. DeRoin and C. H. Gleason, a talk by Prof. Merle Thorpe, a violin solo by Florence Cook, readings by E. R. Moody and Ruth Lillis, and several selections by Claire Dietrich.
Steps were taken toward a memorial by levying an assessment of 25 cents per semester or 50 cents for the schol year. Class numerals were presented to the following: Burton, James, Strothers, Mulloy, Russell, Hammond, Kane, Reber, Trueblood, Henderson Creighton, Elswick, Gaitskill, Court, McKay McMeel, Johnson, and Fiske.
Prof. Merle Thore, of the journalism department will leave for Madison, Wis., Wednesday to attend the American Conference of Journalism, to be held there Friday and Saturday, November 28 and 29.

DEAN SAYS BEAT IT IT'S VACATION TIME WHEN WHISTLE TOOTS FOR DEAN TEMPL
Students Have Right to Leave Classes When Hour Ends,
He Declares
Complaints continue regarding the habit of some instructors keeping their classes over the hour and making it impossible for students to reach their next classes on time. To prevent this the Council last year extended the period of intermission from five to ten minutes.
When the matter was taken to Dean Templin today he said that the trouble probably grew out of the failure of instructors to hear the whistle. He said that students had a perfect right to leave the class room upon the expiration of the class period and that he hoped they would take advantage of their privilege of doing so.
DROPS MANHOLE COVER— AND LOSES TWO TOES
"You see," he added, "instructors are very much interested in the class work and cannot hear the signal as readily as students."
Because man-hole lids are heavy and have sharp corners, Harlan King, a senior engineer, is now short part of two toes. Some of the sami- ticians in the sewer system peka sewer system Friday for a "tech report." King was one of them. The engineers were covering up a manhole which they had investigated when the accident occurred, now getting about on crutches.

Prof. A. M. Wilcox, head of the department of history was in Topeka yesterday and spoke before the Kansas University of the American Institute of Archaeology of which he is president.

ALL MISSOURI VALLEY SELECTION BY MOSSE
FRANK STRONG. Chancellor.
Kansas Mentor Picks Two Teams From Players In Valley Conference
NEBRASKA PLACES MOST MEN
First Eleven Contains Six Nebras ka, Three Kansas and Two Missouri Athletes
Each year immediately after the close of the football season there is but one question in the minds of the college students, the close followers of valley football. What will be the selection of the different coaches and football authorities for the All-Valley Championship team?
And verily that is one of the hardest propositions which the different coaches and athletic managers have to face. They always have the opportunity to see the different Conference teams in action, time and again they look over the stars of the different teams earnestly and carefully, first as possible enemies then as objects. Interfer with others not give many places on their own school, not many athletes of their own eleven can be given a place on the mythical team. That would look like favorism.
Coach Mosse, together with several followers of Missouri valley football picked the following two teams last night, after much discussion. The choice was resulting only in a decision that it gives an insight into the coach's viewpoint.
The first eleven, representing the class of the Valley contains 6 Nebraska men, 3 Kansas, and 2 Missouri athletes. Following is the line: L. E., Mastin, Nebraska; L. T., Burton, Kansas; L. G., Galleger, Missouri; C. Keeling, Kansas; R. G., James, Kansas; R. T. Halligan, Nebraska; R. E., Speelman, Missouri; Q. Towle, Nebraska; L. H., Rutherford, Nebraska; R. H., Purdy, Nebraska; F. Howard, Nebraska.
The Cornhuskers are entitled to six places on the first Valley team. They are easily the class of the Conference this year, that has been proven time and again in the league at the hands of the Tigers Saturday, seem to be inferior on the whole to Brewer's eleven, but the undoubted strength of Keeling, Burton, and James in the line has never been doubted. Drain, Washington, the Kansas Aces, have received no place on the first eleven.
WOULD-BE MOURNERS TRY
TO PIN CRAPE ON GYM
Two students from Missouri who are in the University here tried to show their appreciation of their Mater Saturday night. They purchased a bit of crape and proceeded to the Gym.
A ladder could not be found so they tried to pin the crape over the front door by means of acrobatic ability. Just then Mr. Crockett reinvented the ground appeared. He decided that the black was not necessary.
HAMILTON DOESN'T KNOW
HOW MUCH KANSAS MADE
Just how much Kansas will receive from the receipts of the Kansas-Missouri game, will not be known until manager W. O. Hamilton receives a detailed statement from Columbia. Manager Hamilton says it is impossible to estimate accurately the crowd at Columbia, probably between people and eight thousand people saw the big game.
Kansas will receive one half of the receipts, which probably were between $15,000 and $20,000. A deal expected next week from Missouri is expected next week.

This party promises to be a real old-fashioned gloom dispeller. There won't be anything fussy or formal about it. Pumpkin pie, cider, apples, sandwiches, and all the other things which go to make up a good old country party will be there n abundance.
The "real" Virginia Reel will be a feature of the afternoon, and games and get-together stunts will make everybody happy. A College sing will keep the school life from being forgotten.
This party is for every student and faculty member who will be in Lawrence Thursday. It will be given from 2 to 5 o'clock, and those in charge say that there will be enough good time to go around.
The members of the W. S. G. A.
